I also want to take this time to say Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful moms here in blog land. I hope your day is very special!

I've never heard of a "resale" before! What treasures you found- I'd love to be entered in your giveaway- the chance to win such beautiful books is too good to pass up! Thanks for your generous spirit, and Happy Mother's Day to you!

I enjoy your blog and Seasonal Delights very much. Your garden pictures make me very anxious to get outside. It is still too chilly here but at least the grass is greening and the leaves are finally budding out. Please enter me in the drawing... I borrow the Country Diary from our library on occasion. I think its time again.

i love your blog. I look at it several times every day. I also live in Texas. I am often inspired by your entries, and love to see what you have planned each day. Please enter me in the drawing. Christina Gomez

The pictures of these books makes me think what wonderful finds I likely pass up when I'm out and about that would bless my fellow homeschool mom friends.

I am not a "shopper" by nature and I just don't look for such things, but your blog has caused stirrings in me to be more observant when I am out -- and to even go the extra mile sometimes to look for such treasures.

My mother had the Edwardian Lady one when I was a little girl and it was one of her favorites. I haven't seen it since then so it was a walk down memory lane. Anyway, I would love to be in your book drawing. They are all lovely books! melyssar at gmail dot com

They all look like wonderful books. I wanted to let you know that I created some wonderful spring baskets based on your idea for a mother's day gardening gift basket. My mother loved hers and the other I sent to my secret pal at work. Thanks for the idea. I love seeing all your beautiful ideas and crafts. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Hi Kelli! I recently discovered your site and blog and have really enjoyed it. You inspire me to look for beauty in the simple things and hunt for treasures at resale shops. I would love to enter your contest for the beautiful books. Thank you so much for the amazing craft ideas and homey tips you offer.

Kelli,I have so much enjoyed your blog since stumbling upon it! As a single, full time working mom of 5, it's like a little vacation every time I read your blog! You write about doing everything that I would like to do! I've tried some of your recipes and they are easy and taste wonderful! Thanks for making my life a little easier at dinner time. Happy Mother's Day to you and each of your readers! Oh yeah, all this to say, I would love to be entered in the giveaway! Debi in VA

What a beautiful giveaway, Kelli! I would love to be entered! How sweet of you that we don't have to have a blog! I don't have one yet - maybe one of these days - but I have been truly enjoying your recipes and ideas and get so relaxed and refreshed when i visit here! My e-mail address is pamelakaymela@yahoo.com Thank you again for everything! Happy Mother's Day!

My grandmother had the Old Contry Rose china and I had embroidered a tablecloth and eight napkins to match it for her 85th birthday. She ended up giving me her china (and the tablecloth) and I love it to this day.

I have read your blog for a long time now and love it always. You inspire my daughter and I so much. You have always given her such good advice on homeschooling. I would love to be entered. Thank you, Diana from Oklahoma

Please do not consider this as an entry for your giveaway. At my age I am trying to de-clutter and I have more books than I can manage now.

But I had to write to tell you that Edith Holden's "Country Diary" is among my most treasured books. I had bought the original, but it burned in my house fire. Fortunately, I was able to find a copy again and I love it so. I would love to see the real thing in England someday.

Whoever wins "Country Diary" will be so thrilled. Please gift this and the other books to someone who will truly love them.
